ReCentering: Caregiving Relationships
Tiffany Jaglall, Grace Pires, and Kathryn Reinders
Join us in exploring existing policy approaches to caregiving in Ontario. Our podcast investigates who is made visible and invisible by these policies, and what these in/visibilities mean for the caregiving relationship. We touch on a wide range of topics including young caregivers, and race and disability in caregiving. We hope that this podcast gives our listeners the opportunity to reflect on their own positionality within their own caregiving relationships, as well as gain insight into the current caregiving policies in Ontario. This podcast was prepared as part of our requirements for Women, Justice, and Public Policy in Fall 2020. Listen to the podcast on YouTube.
